This art lesson is a great way to learn about an artist, a culture and self-portraits. Frida Kahlo is an artist from Mexico who was known for her self-portraits, a picture you draw of yourself.In Frida Kahlo's portraits there are some things that you notice right away like her unibrow, the animals that surround her and nature in the background. The 3rd graders will be drawing self-portraits similar to Frida Kahlo's. Their portraits need to have at least one animal, be a drawing of themselves and plants/flowers in the background.The students will be using oil pastel to color their entire paper and then use the black oil pastel to outline everything.
